Stihl Power Tools Fan Thread

[Tino]

It's time to formally recognize the Germans for more than just excellent design and manufacture of cars, but also for gas power tools, as evidenced by the Stihl brand. I've had one of their gas chainsaws for years and it just always works great, despite infrequent use and iffy maintenance. Today I had to buy a gas leaf blower (Tino stimulating the economy - go me!) and there was no question but to buy another Stihl product, which was a pleasure to use. Better yet they manufacture them locally here in Virginia. Any other Stihl fans out there?
